Whitewater Rafting on the Tully

I've heard so much about this that there was no way I could miss out.

The guide on the bus was so funny, telling us to make sure we don't get nose oysters while on camera, keep your legs closed while floating down stream incase of hidden rocks, if you fall out and get slapped in the face by a rope don't get annoyed and throw it back as they're there to rescue you, etc etc.

They took our photo's at various sections along the way, usually at points where they thought we'd fall out but my group managed to hold on tight unlike some others.

One of the girls in my boat was actually a non swimmer, which is crazy, and as we were all trying to soak each other in oher boats, one of the guys thought it would be funny to grab this poor girl from behind and dunk her in! She didn't look too happy!!! heehee!

After lunch we switched up so I managed to get a go at the front where it was much bumpier and fun. The poor kid beside me fell on to me at one point and almost knocked us both out!

We went over a water fall all linked together in a circle, seated at the back of the raft , and as we went over the guide let go of us so we all went flying backwards out of the raft.

It was heaps of fun and nowhere near as scary as I initially thought once you were comfortable with what you were doing.
